Coaching is a phenomenal way to work your way to the life that marriage want and deserve. Coach and client work through the “layers” of your life to this point, doing marriage is necessary to get you out of your old story and begin stepping into the life that you choose. A coach may be the one person in your life that has no agenda for you, but surely has your best interests at heart. This results in an outside perspective on your life that is invaluable to your progress . . . a must-have.
1. Clarity: In order to build the life you want - one decision at at time - and to know which are the “right” decisions to make, one must be very clear on who they really are. You need to move beyond who you were told that you are, who you think you are, who other people want you to be, and who you think you should be. Through open and honest conversation, various fun and enlightening tests, and assignments tailored specifically to your life circumstances, you will discover the true you that is bustin’ to get out. You will have more clarity than you’ve ever had before. And you will learn how to make the decisions to honor who you are and take you where you want to go . . . one decision at a time.
2. Options and Opportunities: To the extent that you are clear on who you are and what you want and need, you will begin to recognize and understand all of the options that lie before you. They may have been there all along, but you just haven’t seen them. We will create a new vision. You will know what to say “yes” and “no” to. You will have more control over your time and destiny. You may need to create options and opportunities for yourself . . . we will tackle that together. As the old saying goes . . . two heads are better than one! We will go through the brainstorming process as a team. Your possibilities are endless! You can create options and opportunities to suit your true self. No more trying to plug yourself into situations. You will be creating them based on what is best for YOU. Can you feel the freedom in that statement?
3. Acceptance: A HUGE part of the process of discovering who you are is accepting all that has led you to this moment. There is no good . . . no bad . . . there just IS. Together we will go back and reframe, to acknowledge and accept your unique history. It was all a necessary part of the process for you to be reading these words right now. We do not look in the rear-view mirror to re-live or beat you up for the past. We rewrite your story so you can live and leave the legacy that captures the true essence of who you are. What legacy do you want to leave?
4. Confidence: In the Decision Diva Dictionary, the word “confidence” means TRUSTING YOURSELF . . . to keep promises made to yourself and others; to know that you can handle whatever comes your way because you are CLEAR about who you are and what you want; the ability to rely on yourself to be your own best friend, leaving behind the negative self-talk and self-defeating behaviors; and being comfortable showing up as your authentic self . . . no matter what the situation. These are among the MANY skills you will learn through Decision Diva coaching.
5. Honesty: First and foremost, you will learn to be completely honest with yourself (perhaps for the first time in your life!) You will learn how to command honesty from others - and how to deal with a lack of honesty when it occurs. It all begins with you learning to confidently and comfortably stand in YOUR OWN TRUTH . . . even when it is scary and may not seem popular. To live an authentic life is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and others. When you are honest, authentic and standing in your truth, you set a great example and give others permission to do the same. Decision Diva coaching is the ideal SAFE place to practice this skill.
6. Insight: You will look at yourself and your life in a way that you never have before . . . guaranteed! You will see things from a new perspective, understand why you have made certain decisions in the past, and become so clear on who you are that the decisions you make FOR YOU - from this point forward - will become a natural process rather than a struggle or a sacrifice. Every insight you have into yourself brings you closer to the pot o’gold at the end of YOUR rainbow.
7. New outlook: The set of eyes through which you see the world will be forever changed. When we know better, we do better. And once we know, it is impossible to go back to the old ways when we are committed to our true selves. I am not talking about the “rose colored glasses” theory as we know it. I am talking about a genuine, positive “rosy” outlook, with a newfound excitement for life. Tapping into your essence, discovering the true you. Experiencing joy at every turn and seeing the beauty and wonder of life. These things will no longer go unnoticed . . . they will become a part of your being. That is the glory of being human.
8. Giving from Your Overflow: This is a concept introduced to me by my own coach, Angela. As women, we are accustomed to give, give, give - even when we have nothing left in our tanks. Sound familiar? You will learn how to give to yourself FIRST - filling your own tank - actually to the point of OVERFLOW - before you give to others. That means when you give you will not feel depleted - you will have the space and energy to FEEL the gift of giving . . . and the recipient has the opportunity to experience the joy of receiving. Keep filling YOURSELF up and you have more to give. No guilt. No selfish feelings. It is a gift that you give to yourself and others. A definite WIN-WIN situation for everyone!

Scoring points is the name of the game in basketball. A proper balance between defense and offense can lead to a high rate of success. Points that come from the free throw line are valuable to a team, especially late in the game. Learn how you can increase your free throw production consistently.
Facing a scoring problem one year, legacy perfume began to explore the three ways to score points. From the field you can score a two-point or three-point field goal. The focus on offensive philosophies seems to lean to creating scoring opportunities from the field. Without a doubt this is an important focus when creating plays, offenses, and special situations. The question I pose is this: Do coaches spend enough time strategizing about how to get to the line more?
One of the most telling statistics in basketball is FTA (free throws attempted). Good teams are aggressive, stretch the defense, and are hard to guard. According to the statistics, the more you get to the line, the better chance you have to win.
Getting to the line more often is the key to winning. Once I asked a friend of mine, “How can my team score more points?” His answer surprised me. He said, “Shoot more free throws than your opponent.” I probed further into the subject with this legendary coach. “So exactly how does my team shoot more free throws than my the opponent?”, I asked. His answer shocked me. He responded, “Foul less!”
After spending a great deal of time investigating this topic, I arrived sweater the following solutions.
1. Put more pressure on the defense by getting the ball to the basket. By driving to the basket, petting the ball to the post, and taking shots closer to the basket, you will get fouled more often and shoot more free throws.
2. Create a “no foul” mentality with your team. Many fouls are of the reaching or grabbing variety. Simply by reducing the use of hands, your team will foul much less.
3. Set a team goal to beat your opponent to the bonus in each half. This will develop a mindset of getting fouled on one end and not fouling on the other end. By instilling this ownership within your team, you will drastically increase your chances to win by consistently shooting more free throws.
When your team shoots five more free throws a game, and you limit you opponent to five less than last year’s averages, you will “shoot” 10 more free throws a game. Therefor, you have added 7 point to your side of the scoreboard. Would that be a benefit to you and your team?
In conclusion, I challenge you to take a good look at your free throw situation, and make some changes for next season. It will be time well spent.

If you have felt the “Abyss”, no need to describe it because there are no real words to describe it.
Perhaps it is known for being a deep dark place which seems to have no bottom, or at least it feels that way when you are there. When YOU recognize YOU feel depressed, sad, lost, recognize the deep dark and seemingly never ending “Abyss”. Make no mistake, sometimes it is too difficult to come out of the “Abyss” alone. There is a need for a guide to shine the light to a path for clarity or a clearing to see where you are. It is possible to find your way through the “Abyss”.
Maybe you remember the movie, “The Abyss”. I remember parts of the movie where designers man was deep in the Ocean and it was almost lifeless in that place. He did have assistance from others to help him out of this “Abyss”. He was unable to really communicate or pull himself out of it. The crew he went into the Ocean with was working as a team to assist him. This was an intelligent and capable man who had expert training in his field. Still, he allowed assistance from his crew members to guide him and sometimes lift him up to a place where he could breathe on his own.
Emotions that are triggered by events, circumstances, holidays, expectations, misunderstandings, loss of a loved one etc. can sometimes cause one to drop into the “Abyss”. When you are there, it feels like no one cares, no one is available to you, there is no way out. Although your mind and experience may tell you something different, the chemistry in your body changes and there is a heaviness that exhaust you. You may feel so tired you can’t even get out of bed. People have different ways to describe these feelings. When you feel it, your mind brings in negative thoughts and ways to sabotage any glimpse of happiness around you. With an imaginative and creative mind, well, there is no real end to the cleaver stories created to keep you believing you are completely alone. Words that seem simple and benign may trigger more pain in you.
The emotion variations are like a continuum in that there are so many degrees to the depression, sadness and the sense of being alone. Physical symptoms accompany these emotions too.
If you are suffering with physical and emotional pain from sadness, depression, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, remember to REACH out and allow your TEAM to guide you to your joy, happiness, and comfort. You may need to seek assistance from your doctor, or another professional who is licensed. These professionals are trained and have experience to assess your specific needs. These professionals may be a psychiatrist, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, or social worker. swimwear family and friends are also part of your TEAM. Remember, you may not notice they are available to you because your perception can sabotage or create an illusion that they don’t care. They do care.
These are trying times with the economy changes and so much isolation in this technical world. We are social beings who enhance each other in our experiences. If you are not experiencing your natural state of peace and joy, you can choose to master the emotions that cause pain and discomfort. Reach out and then allow the Universe to assist you with those who remind you of how magnificent you are.
The “Abyss” is an illusion and the fear that comes from this illusion is based in lies.
Actions steps to take:
1. Talk to someone you know has love and concern about you.
2. Seek consultation with a health professional as listed above, even if it is on the phone.
Your local phone book often has a listing of health professionals and crisis intervention phone numbers.
3. Allow yourself to be nurtured and cared for when you are unable to nurture yourself.
4. List the joys in your life. If you are unable to list the joys, please go back to number 1. Above and start all over again with these steps.
5. Write down your thoughts and notice whether they are uplifting you or not.
6. Ask a family member, friend or health care professional to assist you in finding words to change your negative thoughts into more uplifting statements.
Example: I am alone. No one calls me. No one comes to see me. I am always here for me and I have never left. I am not alone. I can call my family and friends. I will go visit one of my family members or friends right now.
7. These are just a few ideas. Please do not hesitate to continue to seek assistance out of the “Abyss” until you are able to choose to change your emotions on your own.
All the Best to You,
